No other country in the world Is more
 adapted for wheat raising than Arizona. It IS doubtful however, If there IS a similar wheat scsrage iu the world
 possessing like or even fewer advantages, where less wheat ls rsisei The Tea- sons for this IS not apparent. The
 flour used Is almost wholly imported and our mills in the meantime stand idle for want of grain to grind. Our facili- ties for making four are excellent. In southern and os 1trsl Arizona alone. the mills have sufficient capacity 10 supply all the flour consumed had they but the wheat to do 1t with. The Touring mill of E. \. Fish, si Tucson, J. |. I. Smith of Phoenix, and the Hayden mills of Tempe are all first class institutions . but which through laok of gram to grind must needs lie Iile st least portion of the time. Tucson alone imports from two to three car loads or flour per week the year through, and this of itself is no mean item ID the revenues of California. This money should remain in the territory, and would do go provided sufficient acreage be planted in wheat. IL IS complalrei that flour produced from Arizona wheat is little of color when compared wish the California production, but oa the other hand it is sweeter and more nu- tritious, and consequently will market as readily Gs its winter neighbor. The Indian rsnchero Is to-day the largest wheat producer, in proportion to the other crops, ID Arizona to-day. ho finds 1t profitable and so would the American and Mexican farmers if they could be induced to try the experiment O, planting a larger acreage. Let this he done snd the money We pay outsiders for wheat and four be kept at home. It will lessen the cry of dull times.

 NEW YORK, May 21-Early this after noon, when about 100 niles east of Sandy Hook, the Istesmship Etruris. of the Ounsrd line, bound in, and which arrived here tonight, sighted four steamships punched together, they being the Celtic and Brittanic, of the White Star hne, the British Queen. saflipg on the Inmsn line, and the other not iien- hned- They were steaming westward at s slow rate ot speed. The, Celtic was diesbled, with her stern stove in and knocked Co one side. and the other yes sells were assisting, The Etruria passed four vessels four miles from them, and as the weather was growing rapidly cool, did not think i. e1pedient to go to them.
 IL was the impression of Captain Cook, from the character of the injury to the CeltIc's bows that she had encountered an iceberg. The slov-moving vessels were soon lost sight of in the fog, and as 1t did not lift, they would have had difficulty in reaching quarantine. The Celtic sailed from Liverpool ahead of the Etruris. and is due at her pier to- day, The Brittsnic, which is conveying her into port, sailed to Liverpool last Wednesday. The British Queen IS bound in.

IF the people of the earthquake dis trict of Sonora are as destitute as Dr Gregory writes them to be, their case IS indeed piiiful. Tn their days Of pros peIty these people of the mountain dis tricts lived from hand to mouth, and the little they had has been destroyed. In the neighborhood of Oposurs, Bs- visps aud Granada every house was leveled to the ground or made unfit for hsbitstion. This Of itself while a y-eat loss. does not seriously discommode Q people whose houses were neither grand nor fair to look upor. Enl who can come weather ns is wi camp by The roadside or tent luXuTioUsly in field. But if they snffer for want their cry should be henrd sn1 answered by every Arizoni4n. Money, clothing or pro- visions will be acceptable, and If sent to Governor Tore its proper distribu- ton will be assured. It is sad that the people of unaffected portions Of the state, are almost too poor to help them but m Hermcsillo and Guaymas every means possible to raise money for them is being done. What will Ari- Eonisns do to help their stricken neigh bors?

A Plea for Help for the Earthquake
 Sufferers

HERHosILLO, SONORA, May 20, 1887.
 EDITOR CITIzES:-Agsin have to write you few lines. This time on a more painful subject than any of my former letters. for if the people in the earthquake smitten district are not in a great state of actual want. and real sui tenng and immediate need of help, would be the last man to tell you 80, for il is anything but pleasure to me to have tc make so strong 6 statement of theIr cause, for any people. and es- pecially for the good people of the district of Montezums- Where every one who visited the district, especially Americans, have been SO welcome, so kindly treated. The last mouthtul would be given to one of us who hap pened to go there. The only bed or cot. would be given up, to make one of us more comfortable. Would that l were in a condition to do much more than to write my countrymen this, to beg their help for those e1cellent!klnd hearted people-Dow in their great time of ex- treme suffering, only thInk of poor sick women and little children camping out under 6 mesquite tree, very poor shade even DO protection from the hot sun. The worst of if is, they have no provisions but the very little that could be spared from hereabouts. I am writing this especially for Americans, need say no more. many fellow men are in great need almost at your doors. This IS not the worst. Sick women and children are amongst them, by the hundreds.
 Any help that could be rendered now, and sent directly to our excellent Gov ernOr Lris Torres, of this clty would be properly and honestly distributed. If those who are very scarce of money could send four, coffee, sugar, and to make clothing-bed- dIng calico for clothing for the poor women and children, all such things as families have present and actual need of, would most certainly do great good now. Open your hearts my countrymen and help those excellent people, believe mel know whereof write.
 In several instances that come under my personal observation of American miners giving all they could spare of the small wages they were getting makes one proud to know as sn Ameri- can citizen.
 Business here is looking up a little, | many strangers coming in, Some mines | being sold, many being worked.
 The health is I must say excellent.
